1948 Map of Anderson Island
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The McNeil Island (Federal Penitentiary) and the sprawling Fort Lewis Military Reservation dominate this post-war landscape of the South Sound. The map reveals a complex arrangement of military and institutional land use, including the Camp Murray National Guard and McChord Air Force Base, which flank the recreational and residential clusters around American Lake. To the north, the burgeoning suburbs of Tacoma reach toward Fircrest and Lakewood Center, while the Northern Pacific railroad tracks trace the coastline and inland prairies.
